Dotta 7f893ac4ec [codex] Harden execution reliability and heartbeat tooling (#3679)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Reliable execution depends on heartbeat routing, issue lifecycle
semantics, telemetry, and a fast enough local verification loop to keep
regressions visible
> - The remaining commits on this branch were mostly server/runtime
correctness fixes plus test and documentation follow-ups in that area
> - Those changes are logically separate from the UI-focused
issue-detail and workspace/navigation branches even when they touch
overlapping issue APIs
> - This pull request groups the execution reliability, heartbeat,
telemetry, and tooling changes into one standalone branch
> - The benefit is a focused review of the control-plane correctness
work, including the follow-up fix that restored the implicit
comment-reopen helpers after branch splitting

## What Changed

- Hardened issue/heartbeat execution behavior, including self-review
stage skipping, deferred mention wakes during active execution, stranded
execution recovery, active-run scoping, assignee resolution, and
blocked-to-todo wake resumption
- Reduced noisy polling/logging overhead by trimming issue run payloads,
compacting persisted run logs, silencing high-volume request logs, and
capping heartbeat-run queries in dashboard/inbox surfaces
- Expanded telemetry and status semantics with adapter/model fields on
task completion plus clearer status guidance in docs/onboarding material
- Updated test infrastructure and verification defaults with faster
route-test module isolation, cheaper default `pnpm test`, e2e isolation
from local state, and repo verification follow-ups
- Included docs/release housekeeping from the branch and added a small
follow-up commit restoring the implicit comment-reopen helpers that were
dropped during branch reconstruction

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-telemetry-routes.test.ts`
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/http-log-policy.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-log.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/health.test.ts`
- `server/src/__tests__/activity-service.test.ts`,
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-comment-wake-batching.test.ts`, and
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` were attempted
on this host but the embedded Postgres harness reported
init-script/data-dir problems and skipped or failed to start, so they
are noted as environment-limited

## Risks

- Medium: this branch changes core issue/heartbeat routing and
reopen/wakeup behavior, so regressions would affect agent execution flow
rather than isolated UI polish
- Because it also updates verification infrastructure, reviewers should
pay attention to whether the new tests are asserting the right failure
modes and not just reshaping harness behavior

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex coding agent (GPT-5-class runtime in Codex CLI; exact
deployed model ID is not exposed in this environment), reasoning
enabled, tool use and local code execution enabled

## Checklist

- [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context
to this change
- [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability
details)
- [ ] I have run tests locally and they pass
- [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable
- [ ] If this change affects the UI, I have included before/after
screenshots
- [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes
- [x] I have considered and documented any risks above
- [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before
requesting merge

Manage AI agents (employees) within a company.
## List Agents
```
GET /api/companies/{companyId}/agents
```
Returns all agents in the company.
This route does not accept query filters. Unsupported query parameters return `400`.
## Get Agent
```
GET /api/agents/{agentId}
```
Returns agent details including chain of command.
## Get Current Agent
```
GET /api/agents/me
```
Returns the agent record for the currently authenticated agent.
**Response:**
```json
{
"id": "agent-42",
"name": "BackendEngineer",
"role": "engineer",
"title": "Senior Backend Engineer",
"companyId": "company-1",
"reportsTo": "mgr-1",
"capabilities": "Node.js, PostgreSQL, API design",
"status": "running",
"budgetMonthlyCents": 5000,
"spentMonthlyCents": 1200,
"chainOfCommand": [
{ "id": "mgr-1", "name": "EngineeringLead", "role": "manager" },
{ "id": "ceo-1", "name": "CEO", "role": "ceo" }
]
}
```
## Create Agent
```
POST /api/companies/{companyId}/agents
{
"name": "Engineer",
"role": "engineer",
"title": "Software Engineer",
"reportsTo": "{managerAgentId}",
"capabilities": "Full-stack development",
"adapterType": "claude_local",
"adapterConfig": { ... }
}
```
## Update Agent
```
PATCH /api/agents/{agentId}
{
"adapterConfig": { ... },
"budgetMonthlyCents": 10000
}
```
## Pause Agent
```
POST /api/agents/{agentId}/pause
```
Temporarily stops heartbeats for the agent.
## Resume Agent
```
POST /api/agents/{agentId}/resume
```
Resumes heartbeats for a paused agent.
## Terminate Agent
```
POST /api/agents/{agentId}/terminate
```
Permanently deactivates the agent. **Irreversible.**
## Create API Key
```
POST /api/agents/{agentId}/keys
```
Returns a long-lived API key for the agent. Store it securely — the full value is only shown once.
## Invoke Heartbeat
```
POST /api/agents/{agentId}/heartbeat/invoke
```
Manually triggers a heartbeat for the agent.
## Org Chart
```
GET /api/companies/{companyId}/org
```
Returns the full organizational tree for the company.
## List Adapter Models
```
GET /api/companies/{companyId}/adapters/{adapterType}/models
```
Returns selectable models for an adapter type.
- For `codex_local`, models are merged with OpenAI discovery when available.
- For `opencode_local`, models are discovered from `opencode models` and returned in `provider/model` format.
- `opencode_local` does not return static fallback models; if discovery is unavailable, this list can be empty.
## Config Revisions
```
GET /api/agents/{agentId}/config-revisions
POST /api/agents/{agentId}/config-revisions/{revisionId}/rollback
```
View and roll back agent configuration changes.
